Here at The Good Trade, we've been sobered by political actions taken to shut out those who are suffering. In a world where nearly 34,000 people are forcibly displaced every day as a result of conflict or persecution, there has never been a more important time to use our collective voice to support values of inclusion, diversity and love. We feel emboldened to search for and support organizations dedicated to protecting those refugees and immigrants who are searching for a safe haven and a hopeful future. These 7 brands are offering new hope and new beginnings through employment and education initiatives for refugees worldwide.
